Chapter 4: Encounter with the Big Devil
I quietly walked out of the lobby.
The monk was sitting on the ground, his staff thrown aside and a pestle stuck in the ground.
A golden halo was covering the monk, flickering on and off.
Li Ao was fighting with a black shadow.
I don't know when he put on boxing gloves on his hands. The gloves were fiery red and flames seemed to be spurting out every time they fought.
There was a man in black sitting in the lobby.
"Although I don't know who you are, you actually come here to cause trouble. Do you think you have lived too long?"
The man in black said with some displeasure.
"Amitabha! Although I am not very powerful, I cannot allow evil creatures like you to harm the people."
After the monk finished speaking, he took off his bracelet and muttered something.
The bracelet floated up, shedding its mud-colored outer shell to reveal beads made of colored glass. The golden light around it stabilized and became even brighter.
The man in black stared at Liuli's hand with his pupils shrinking slightly.
It turned out to be 'Glass Heart'.
(It is said that this thing can increase a person's speed of cultivation, and long-term wearing can also improve one's qualifications. Unexpectedly, this rare item would appear in the hands of a monk in the foundation-building stage).
"Who is your master?"
"I come from Ji country, from the 'Canaan Temple' in Liulidi, and my master is Master Miaoxin. No matter who you are, I will never allow you to bring harm to the people."
"So you are the disciple of that stinky bald donkey. No wonder. I was wondering how a magic weapon of this grade could be in the hands of a monk like you. If that's the case, I will accept it with reluctance."
After the man in black finished speaking, he raised his palm and pressed down lightly, and the golden light around the monk began to flicker again.
"Li Ao, show us your true abilities now, or you will die here."
The monk urged.
Li Ao shouted loudly, and his fists burst into brilliant light, shocking the black shadow and forcing it to retreat again and again.
Then he immediately took out an ancient mirror from his bosom, chanted a spell, and a beam of light shot out from the mirror and hit the black shadow, which instantly dissipated.
Li Ao immediately changed direction and shot towards the man in black.
The man in black had no time to dodge and could only allow the beam of light to shine on himself.
The black clothes on the man in black disappeared instantly, and a red light flashed around him, leaving only a woman in a tight red dress.
The woman looked at the mirror in Li Ao's hand with a puzzled look, then her brows relaxed and she clapped her hands and said.
"Not bad, not bad. It seems that we have gained a lot today."
"Monk, something is wrong. This thing is probably at the lowest level of Jindan. According to rumors, isn't it a ghost that specializes in seducing passing scholars? How come the Jindan old monster has appeared?"
"Who are you calling old? It seems like you are tired of living too."
After the woman in red said this, she instantly came in front of Li Ao, and Li Ao flew backwards instantly.
I looked at Li Ao who was flying backwards.
(Fuck, I'm just watching a show!)
"Hmm~ There's still a fly. What? Whose disciple are you? What treasures do you have to offer me?"
"Please spare my life. I am just a passer-by. I was tricked by those two and I don't have a master. Otherwise, you can be my master."
I said sincerely.
"Well, your qualifications are acceptable, but you are not qualified to be my apprentice. Since you have no name or faction, I will deal with you after I have dealt with them!"
The woman in red said.
"Thank you very much, beautiful lady. I will repay you when I have the chance!"
I quickly started to flatter him.
"You're quite sweet, not bad."
"My beautiful lady donor, this is all a misunderstanding. There are ghosts nearby that are killing people. We are here to take them back. This is all a misunderstanding!"
The monk said with some surprise.
(After all, the other party is not a ghost, so everything is easy to deal with!)
"No, no, no, it's not a misunderstanding. I did raise these ghosts with great effort, but they have never harmed anyone. Yet you want to scare them to death. You will have to pay the price for this."
The woman in red said.
"My beautiful lady, once a ghost comes into contact with a person for a long time, it will absorb the person's Yang energy. At the very least, the person will be weak for half a month, and at the worst, the person's life will be in danger. This is not a small matter."
The monk argued.
"These are all voluntary actions of those scholars. We kindly provide them with shelter, but they still indulge in the plots of strange stories and believe in the plots of love between humans and ghosts. These are all voluntary actions of them. When did you people start to care about the lives of ordinary people? It's ridiculous!"
As the red-dressed woman spoke, her eyes became fierce.
"Now that you're all gathered together, use whatever tricks you have. This is your last chance."
After the woman finished speaking, her lips moved slightly, and then a huge palm slowly fell from above the heads of the three people.
I looked back and saw that Li Ao had quietly approached me without me noticing, and I had sneaked over while she was talking to me.
"Amitabha, good, good!"
The monk chanted a Buddhist name.
"Oh my god, why are you still here at this time? Oh, it looks like I'll have to stay here today!"
Li Ao interrupted the monk angrily.
I clenched the jade pendant in my hand and felt it getting hotter and hotter.
The jade pendant then broke free from the palm, gradually floated up, and then shot out a beam of light that pierced through the huge palm in the air.
It stayed on the roof for a moment, then shot straight into the sky.
Seeing the beam of light, the woman was stunned for a moment, then she cursed and disappeared in an instant.
Li Ao and Wu Chen looked at the confused 'me' in shock.
"Fuck, I didn't expect that the one who hid the deepest was you, Old Six, and you even said you don't know how to practice! Huh, huh."
Li Ao looked at me with disdain.
"You are all big liars. I don't want to play with you anymore."
After saying this, Li Ao turned around and ran away. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
"Amitabha, it seems I'm saved. Thank you, Mr. Lin, for saving me. It seems my practice is not enough. I have to practice more when I go back!"
I was just about to say something.
Suddenly, an old man wearing a Confucian scarf and an elegant long gown appeared before him.
The sound floated through the air,
"You explore here and come to help later."
"My two friends, are you okay?"
The old man in Confucian robes asked.
"Amitabha, I am Wuchen, from the 'Canaan Monastery', and my master is Master Miaoxin. I met this person on the road, and he said he is a distant relative of General Zhao of Han State, and his name is Lin Yixuan."
"So it's my nephew Wuchen and Yixuan. Please stay here for now. I'll be back soon."
After the old man in Confucian robes finished speaking, he disappeared in an instant.
Soon, three old men appeared in front of him. One was a skinny old man in Taoist robes, another was a monk holding a nine-ring staff, and the other was the old man in Confucian robes.
"Damn it, we almost caught her, but she still managed to get away. I guess we need to strengthen our protection in the future. She slipped right under our noses, and no one noticed!"
The skinny onlooker glanced at both of us.
"I'm not good with words, so I'll leave it to you to ask!"
After saying that, he disappeared.
"Tell me in detail how you met that female devil."
The old man Rushan asked.
The monk recounted the entire story, including the rumors in the neighborhood and how we met.
(But it feels like someone has been missed. Li Ao didn’t mention this person at all, as if they had already discussed it tacitly.)
The old man Rushan wanted to ask something else.
The monk holding the nine-ring staff spoke.
"Amitabha, good, good! Since nothing happened, it is a great blessing. We should go back."
After the monk said this, he disappeared on the spot.
"May I ask, who is that female devil?"
I asked confused.
The old man Rushan disappeared on the spot, and his voice echoed in the air.
"He is the great devil who caused bloody storm in Ji State more than a hundred years ago."
The monk and I looked at each other and smiled. It was such a blessing.
(It turns out that the other party is not at the Jindan level, but at the Yuanying level)
'The cultivation growth is divided into the Qi training stage, which is divided into 1 to 10 levels, and then the great perfection, and then the breakthrough of the foundation building stage (can control objects). The foundation building goes through the initial, middle, late and great perfection of the foundation building to enter the false elixir realm. After washing away the lead and entering the golden elixir realm, you can refine your own life magic weapon. Then you will also go through the initial, middle and late stages. Enter the infant transformation realm. After the infant transformation is successful, it is equivalent to having a chance to be reborn. Even if the body is damaged, you can use the Yuanying magical power to reshape the body. After that, it is ascension, overcoming the tribulation, and becoming an immortal.'
'However, until this moment, no one noticed that there were many tiny cracks on Lin Yixuan's jade pendant.'
